Re: Obama to take executive action on immigration

Boehner states that the House will not move on Immigration Reform.
And Obama gets labeled as the Deporter-in-Chief hurting him with that part of the electorate--as Con/GOPs snicker.

But Boehner won't move on Immigration Reform because the President can't be trusted.
Now lookie here at the ultimate strawman by a Speaker.
No Amnesty!
No Amnesty!
No Amnesty!
But Boehner may play after the election .

No question.
Yup ... Easy to boldly lie when you know there ain't no one gonna call you on it.
Like ... he complained about the Senate Immigration Bill not getting a vote and you'd think there'd be SOMEbody mention what Reid has been blocking in the Senate.

Re: Obama to take executive action on immigration

I wonder if the party of Reagan Patriots would want a soldier deported after he serves.
Nor should we take care of any of his wounds.
Should we follow each of them back to see who the President was when the illegal went to fight for the USA ?

Re: Obama to take executive action on immigration

And let's just say NO to any legislation and force the President to put forth an executiive order to move assests to the border for control.

Then file a lawsuit and tell me who has taken obstruction to the next level .

Go back and first read my post number 10 and then number 14 before you get all red in the face and jumping to conclusions that are bound to be wrong.

This Reform Party member thinks it is high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first and their political party further down the line. But for way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.

Re: Obama to take executive action on immigration

Careful, their next checkers move is to shoot your link and the research.
It's been that way since the gov't shutdown and ensuing ACA roll-out.

Boehner is willing to do nothing on Immigration Reform and other hot-button TEA-issues and wait for public opinion polls after the August recess.
Expect to see a few token bills aimed at specific target groups based on this polling .

I can post links in which what is claimed is 1/2 truth (politico) or another by pew research, which do you want?

You also could look it up too. After reading some of the links, you'd be better informed, and make you a better debater.

Yeah this caught my eye as well....true it shows until 2012. Then BO's EO comes into affect and as the AP discovered so far.....40k let into the country within the last year.

Then there was more to it they discovered.

The immigration court system was backlogged with as many as 30,000 pending cases before the most recent surge. Final decisions by immigration judges can take years, but that supposes immigrants dutifully attend their assigned hearings. Many won't. As many as one-quarter of the immigrants ordered to show up in court in recent years have failed to appear, according to the Executive Office for Immigration Review, the Justice Department agency that runs immigration courts.

Instead, the government has more narrowly targeted people who return to the U.S. after they were deported, people who threaten U.S. national security and public safety and adults who can be subject to expedited deportation that takes hours or days.

The president has made several administrative changes to immigration enforcement, including a program to allow some young immigrants who came to the country before 2007 to avoid deportation and obtain a work permit for two years.

Adult immigrants caught crossing the Mexican border illegally are generally removed from the U.S. within hours or days of their arrest. But a federal law dating to President George W. Bush's administration requires that unaccompanied child immigrants must be turned over to HHS within three days. From there, many are reunited with parents or other relatives already in the United States or other sponsors before the lengthy court process beings.....snip~
